Attempting to Finish a Touhou Game without Moving

Ever wonder what a Touhou game would be like if your arrow keys broke? Well today I'm here to go through all 18 Mainline games simulating that experience. How many games can you get through with only your shot and bomb available? Prepare to be surprised (or not)

[meep]

Solid proof that 9 times out of 10 not moving is indeed the better tactic instead of panic dodging into a stray curving rice bullet

[StarkMaximum]

"The game crashes if your rank is too low on the stage 2 boss."
Holy shit, is this an IN-GAME "GIT GUD SCRUB"

[u.n.latias]

25:04 Touhou Luigi wins by almost doing absolutely nothing

[MaribelHearn]

There is actually a No Movement TAS of Touhou 14 DDC on Lunatic! Yes, it successfully 1ccs the game.

It abuses the glitchiness of SakuyaA to invincibility spam its way to victory. Very funny run for sure lol.
Even funnier, the run finishes with 7 lives and 1 bomb left lmao.

[RaKKiDei]

Wasn't expecting a Phantasmagoria game to been beatable without moving. Let alone both of them, haha

[Rawpst]

Everyone else doing Elden Ring challenge runs and this man said "okay but Touhou though" love it

[Iris_Descent]

The reason behind the Kurumi low rank crash is that the rank got so low that it tries firing a 0-way pattern, so the game just implodes.

(also I'd put a joke here like "sorry for throwing a thousand tiles at you" but only few people would get why I say that)

[animeking]

I see that "Joon" in the score screen. Man even names his highscores after his waifu smh.

[qwertyuiop]

26:49 "And for those not paying attention, thanks for keeping the video open anyways."

damn, you didnt have to call me out like that

[kevinb]

OK, 14:48 absolutely sent me lmao. Great script-writing there.

[remiliascarlet]

If I knew it was you I would've told sakuya to go easy on you.

[elegant_lilligant]

I have to say it is _REALLY_ shocking that not one, _BOTH_ of the Phantasmagoria games could be beaten, especially with Aya's lightspeed homing shots.

[raikaria]

The fact you almost beat UM Lunatic without moving is insane. I can't even beat UM Normal with continues and moving [Although I only have 1 card slot to start with]. Granted; UM Lunatic really isn't much of a step up from UM Normal [UM has a really hard Normal mode] but still.

[Nhan]

10:15 Technically, her A shot isn't a homing shot, it's more like an auto aim shot (like Yukari's shot in Imperishable Night). Sakuya can only aim her knives at enemies that are in her sight, so sometimes she won't shot some enemies because of that.

まだまだ英語はわからないけれど素晴らしい愛は伝わった
海外に東方が広がるのは本当に嬉しい〜本当にありがとう

[spookymas]

before: can you finish a touhou game without grazing
now: can you finish a touhou game without moving
god that's drastic

[allesinallem]

I discovered you pretty recently, and watched all of your videos. I do not know much about touhou, but your videos are so well put together. Dont stop making great content!

[Kasamori]

For a relaxing th18 lunatic experience, I recommend using Sanae with

- Mamizou's card (+1P and no P loss upon death below 3P),
- Tsukasa's card (P=bomb)
- Megumu's card (small bullet clear and +1P)

and only buying

- Mokou's card (+3 lives AND 9 bombs)
- Byakuren's card (cooldown reduction on Tsukasa's and Megumu's card = more B and P, longer bombs)
- Eirin's card (just to be safe)
- life cards (now with 3 free bombs!)

This makes you start with 3 power (and therefore 2 extra bombs), makes sure you don't lose power upon dying (which is more bombs) and you can pretty much bomb through until Jimbo.

Oh and you'll have enough power to buy Mokou's card even on stage 1.

[ShockInazuma]

Let’s be honest, if Sagume didn’t kill you, Clownpiece would’ve decimated you. Sagume was just offering mercy.

[videogamescoverftw]

Dim dream gets drastically easier with each continue due to the fact that the difficulty option only chooses the starting difficulty and the game will adjust to your skill level, meaning that if you 1cc the game on easy you will probably end up on lunatic by yumemi. My first 1cc took me so many tries because of this
